In Visual Studio, when I go to add a project, there are two options for creating GUI applications. Win32 Project and Windows Forms Applic开发者_开发百科ation. What's the difference between these two? Is one of them

dependent on more .dlls than the other?
faster than the other?
easier to program in than the other?

Win32 are native applications primarly written with C++. (Machine dependent). Windows Forms are managed-code applications using the .NET Runtime Environment.

Between both, Windows forms are easier to program given the fact that you can choose the language you are better with; the vast amount of libraries (BCL) without bizarre things like manual memory management and the real object-oriented paradigm implementation of many of them.
